I guess the reason I find it intimidating is because I know there are much better traders I'm up against. But it is easier for me to trade, and I'm doing much better because my setups are occurring more often.

James,

Don't let the big bad ES intimidate you. I think it's just like the others, but with more volume. As you want to trade more and more volume, the ES is the most liquid so I think it's a good market to trade.

ES seems much more scalper friendly, price movement is a lot faster obviously. I'm still a bit intimidated, but I'm doing pretty well.

 

How is everyone else doing?

 

If you think the ES is intimidating, try the ER2 Russell e-mini then.:p

Just saw the same moves coming up on the ES and YM so I took both. Turned out to be a +50 YM and 2.75 ES trade. I'm happy with that and I'm done trading for the day and I'm just going to go look over my charts and see what I did right/wrong and where I can improve. I finished with over 200 YM and over 20 ES, good volatility allowed for my setup to come up quite regularly and work out with bigger than normal profit margins. Only a few losing trades, but they happen. I'm glad I'm going on vacation, I could see myself getting greedy next week with such a good day and screwing things up so this will give me time to clear my head. Good trading everyone!

Good trading Abe, I've seen a lot of improvement from you lately. Keep it up!

 

p.s - what is there to do in Dallas? I'm leaving for there tomorrow morning.

 

Thanks James. Good trading to you as well.

 

Regarding Dallas, I'm not sure what kind of things you're into. You might want to check out reunion tower in downtown.

There is a restaurant up there that spins around, slowly, to let you view Dallas in 360.

    • Question: To those that had/have cancer, what were the signs that made you think “something is not right here” to make you go see a doctor? Answer: So, 5/25/2018, I woke up, got ready for work, and as I walked to my car, I started gagging. Like something was stuck in my throat and I needed to clear it. And then it went away.   But 10 minutes after that, I was T-boned at 40mph on the driver side door. But what made me see a doctor was while my muscles felt better and bruises were going away, the gagging still continued, I started having fevers, my neck felt swollen, I was having such a hard time breathing, and I'd have random sharp pains in my chest, but not from where the seat belt saved me.   2 weeks after the accident, I finally see an urgent care doctor, who looks me over, tells me I'm fine, but luckily requests a neck X-ray. And I ask for a chest X-ray, which he rolls his eyes but let me have (most of my pain was in the neck, so I understand).   The very next day, he calls and says “So, that chest X-ray shows there's a 4 inch mass on your heart and lungs, and your lungs have been filling up with fluid, as well as in your pericardial (heart) wall. We need you to come in tomorrow.”   Turns out the big mass, due to the accident, caused my heart and lungs to tear and fill with fluid, the swollen neck and gagging was caused by 2 metastasized tumors, and the fevers and weight loss were symptoms. Stage 4b Hodgkin's Lymphoma.   But thankfully, we went very aggressive with chemo (and had a lot of bad side effects that don't normally happen to patients), and now I'm about 16 months cancer-free. Yay lucky X-rays!

    • As a man, the reality of life is the harshest part. I don’t mind looking older or becoming weaker over time; it’s nature.   Have you ever heard that the only people who will be loved unconditionally are women and children? Men will only be loved as long as they can provide until they are no longer needed. It doesn’t matter if you already did your best to get your kids to the best school or get the best things for them, if you stop before they’re done with it, there will be no thank you. The only thing they will remember is that they have to quit school at 15, ignoring all the previous 15 years of life you provided for them. The only people who will accept you, no matter what, are your parents. But in this situation, you might be that ungrateful child.   EDIT: Wow, I didn’t think this would get so much attention.   For those who disagree, I can only say that everyone has their problem. If you don’t get the chance to face such a thing, be grateful. Remember, sometimes what you throw in the garbage is something that someone wishes ever to have.” – ElZee, Quora   Profits from free accurate cryptos signals: https://www.predictmag.com/
